The  Author  may  now  state  that  while  he  is  well  aware  ol 
the  defects  of  his  Psalter,  which  was  hurriedly  issued,  in  1870,  to 
meet  a  want  not  then  supplied,  he  believes  that  more  has  Deen  done 
in  it  with  the  meagre  material  afforded  by  the  present  Chant  form 
as  a  means  of  expression,  than  in  similar  works. 

As,  for  instance,  where,  in  the  same  Psalm,  both  plaintive  and 
joyous  music  is  required,  both  the  Minor  and  Major  modes  are 
alternately  used,  a  simple  variation  which  is  no  hindrance  to 
congregational  singing.

The  Bars  correspond  with  those  in  the  Chants,  except  the 
Double  Bar,  instead  of  which  is  inserted,  as  most  usual,  a  colon  in 
the  middle  of  the  verse. 

The  dot  • ,  or  with  hyphen  — ,  is  to  divide  the  Bar  into  equal 
portions  where  necessary. 

Presuming  that  the  Chanting  is  antiphonal,  each  verse  should 
be  taken  up  immediately  after  the  preceding  one,  producing 
a  continuous  effect,  for  the  musical  cadence  being  suffered  to  rest 
each  time  as  if  it  were  a  final  cadence;  in  other  words,  a  pause 
recurring  so  often  is  monotonous. 

The  music  arranged  to  this  Psalter  will  be  found  in  the 
Author's  new  work,  "Service  with  Hymnal,"  and  it  is  believed 
that  its  absence  here  will  not  be  disadvantageous  for  the  following' 
reasons : — 

I. — That  as  the  Chant  is  always  known  by  ear  (and  good 
Chanting  cannot  be  otherwise  ensured),  one  glance  at  the  notes 
should  be  sufficient,  while  in  unison  singing  they  are  not  required  at 
all  if  the  theme  is  given  out  clearly  from  the  organ  previous  to  each 
Psalm. 

2. — That  in  this  form  it  is  more  convenient  for  the  hand,  and  at 
a  price  within  the  reach  of  all. 

3. — That  musical  adaptations  seem  arbitrary,  and  seldom,  if  ever, 
meet  with  general  approbation. 


THE  ORDER  FOR  DAILY 

MORNING    PRAYER. 


THE  Lord  is  in  His  holy  temple  ;  let  all  the  earth  keep  silence 
before  Him.     Hab.  ii.  20. 

From  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going  down  of  the 
same.  My  Name  shall  be  great  among  the  Gentiles ;  and  in  every 
place  incense  shall  be  offered  unto  My  Name,  and  a  pure  offering : 
for  My  Name  shall  be  great  among  the  Heathen,  saith  the  Lord  of 
Hosts.     Mai.  i.  II. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the  meditation  of  my  heart,  be 
alway  acceptable  in  Thy  sight,  O  Lord,  my  Strength  and  my  Re- 
deemer.    Ps.  xix.  14,  15. 

When  the  wicked  man  turneth  away  from  his  wickedness  that 
he  hath  committed,  and  doeth  that  which  is  lawful  and  right,  he 
shall  save  his  soul  alive.     Ezek,  xviii.  27. 

I  acknowledge  my  transgressions  ;  and  my  sin  is  ever  before  me. 
Ps.  li.  3. 

Hide  Thy  face  from  my  sins ;  and  blot  out  all  mine  iniquities. 
Ps.  li.  9. 

The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  spirit ;  a  broken  and  a  con- 
trite heart,  O  God,  Thou  wilt  not  despise.     Ps.  li.  17. 

Rend  your  heart  and  not  your  garments,  and  turn  unto  the  Lord 
your  God  ;  for  He  is  gracious  and  merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of 
great  kindness,  and  repenteth  Him  of  the  evil.     Joel  ii.  13. 

To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  mercies  and  forgivenesses,  though 
we  have  rebelled  agaiost  Him  ;  neither  have  we  obeyed  the  voice 
of  the  Lord  our  God,  to  walk  in  His  laws  which  He  set  before  us. 
Dan,  ix.  9,  10. 


6  MORNING  PRAYER. 

0  Lord,  correct  me,  but  with  judgment ;   not  in  Thine  anger, 

lest  Thou  bring  me  to  nothing.     Jer.  x.  24  ;  Ps.  vi.  i. 

^^  Repent  ye  ;  for  the  kingdom  of  Heaven  is  at  hand.     St.  Matt. 
lii.  2. 

1  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him  :  Father, 
I  have  sinned  against  Heaven,  and  before  thee,  and  am  no  more 
worthy  to  be  called  thy  son.     S.  Luke  xv.  18,  19. 

Enter  not  into  judgment  with  Thy  servant,  O  Lord  ;  for  in  Thy 
sight  shall  no  man  living  be  justified.     Ps.  cxliii.  2. 

If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth 
is  not. in  us;  but  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God  is  faithful  and  just  to 
forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us  from  aH  unrighteousness. 
I  John  i.  8,  9. 

DEARLY  beloved  brethren,  the  Scripture  moveth  us,  in  sundry 
places,  to  acknowledge  and  confess  our  manifold  sins  and 
wickedness,  and  that  we  should  not  dissemble  nor  cloak  them  before 
the  face  of  Almighty  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  but  confess  them 
with  an  humble,  lowly,  penitent,  and  obedient  heart ;  to  the  end 
that  we  may  obtain  forgiveness  of  the  same,  by  His  infinite  good- 
ness and  mercy.  And  although  we  ought,  at  all  times,  humbly  to 
acknowledge  our  sins  before  God  ;  yet  ought  we  chiefly  so  to  do, 
when  we  assemble  and  meet  together,  to  render  thanks  for  the 
great  benefits  that  we  have  received  at  His  hands,  to  set  forth  His 
most  worthy  praise,  to  hear  His  most  holy  Word,  and  to  ask  those 
things  which  are  requisite  and  necessary,  as  well  for  the  body  as 
the  soul.  Wherefore,  I  pray  and  beseech  you,  as  many  as  are  here 
present,  to  accompany  me  with  a  pure  heart  and  humble  voice,  unto 
the  throne  of  the  heavenly  grace,  saying — 

\  A  General  Confession. 

ALMIGHTY  and  most  merciful  Father ;  We  have  erred  and 
strayed  from  Thy  ways  like  lost  sheep.  We  have  followed 
too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our  own  hearts.  We  have 
offended  against  Thy  holy  laws.  We  have  left  undone  those  things 
which  we  ought  to  have  done ;  and  we  have  done  those  things 
which  we  ought  not  to  have  done  :  And  there  is  no  health  in  us. 
But  Thou,  O  Lord,  have  mercy  upon  us,  miserable  offenders. 
Spare  Thou  those,  O   God,  who    confess   their   faults.      Restore 


MORNING  PRAYER.  7 

Thou  those  who  are  penitent ;  According  to  Thy  promises  declared 
unto  mankind,  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.  And  grant,  O  most 
merciful  Father,  for  His  sake  ;  That  we  may  hereafter  live  a  godly, 
righteous,  and  sober  life  ;  To  the  glory  of  Thy  Holy   Name.  Amen, 

\  The  Declaration  of  Absolution,  or  Remission  of  Sins. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  who 
desiieth  not  the  death  of  a  sinner,  but  rather  that  he  may 
turn  from  his  wickedness  and  live,  hath  given  power  and  com- 
mandment to  His  ministers  to  declare  and  pronounce  to  His  people, 
being  penitent,  the  Absolution  and  Remission  of  their  sins.  He 
pardoneth  and  absolveth  all  those  who  truly  repent,  and  unfeignedly 
believe  His  holy  gospel.  Wherefore,  let  us  beseech  Him  to  grant 
us  true  repentance,  and  His  Holy  Spirit ;  that  those  things  may 
please  Him  which  we  do  at  this  present,  and  that  the  rest  of  our 
life  hereafter  may  be  pure  and  holy ;  so  that  at  the  last  we  may 
come  to  His  eternal  joy,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

\  Or  this. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  who  of  His  great 
mercy,  hath  promised  forgiveness  of  sins  to  all  those  who, 
with  hearty  repentance  and  true  faith,  turn  unto  Him  ;  have  mercy 
upon  you,  pardon  and  deliver  you  from  all  your  sins,  confirm  and 
strengthen  you  in  all  goodness,  and  bring  you  to  everlasting  life, 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

OUR  Father,  who  art  in  Heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name ; 
Thy  kingdom  come  ;  Thy  will  be  done  on  earth,  as  it  is  in 
Heaven  ;  Give  us  this  day  our  daily  bread  ;  And  forgive  us  our  tres- 
passes, as  we  forgive  those  who  trespass  against  us  ;  And  lead  us 
not  into  temptation  ;  But  deliver  us  from  evil :  For  Thine  is  the 
Kingdom,  and  the  Power,  and  the  Glory,  for  ever  and  ever.  Amen. 
,  O  Lord,  open  Thou  our  lips  ; 
Ans.  And  our  mouth  shall  show  forth  Thy  praise. 

\  Here,  all  standing  up,  the  Minister  shall  say, 
Glory  be  to  the  Father,  and  to  the  Son,  and  to  the  Holy  Ghost ; 
Ans.  As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  ever  shall  be,  world 
without  end.     Amen.    ^ 
Min.  Praise  ye  the  I^ord. 
Ans.  The  Lord's  Name  be  praised.

CHRIST    our    Passover,    is    sacri-  |   ficed  |  for    us  : 
therefore  |  let  us  |  keep  the  |  feast ; 
Not   with  the    old    leaven,    nor  with  the    leaven  of  | 
malice  and  |  wickedness  :  but  with  the  unleavened    bread 
of  sin  -  I  ceri  -  |  ty  and  |  truth. 

CHRIST  being  raised  from  the  dead  |  dieth  no  | 
more  :  death  hath  no  |  more  do-  |  minion  |  over  Him. 

For  in  that  He  died.  He  died  |  unto  sin  |  once  :  but 
in  that  He  liveth,  He  |  liveth  |  unto  |  God. 

Likewise  reckon  ye  also  yourselves  to  be  dead  indeed  | 
unto  I  sin  :  but  alive  unto  God  through  |  Jesus  |  Christ  oui  |

by  the  Holy  Ghost,  Born  of  the  Virgin  Mary,  Suffered  under 
Pontius  Pilate,  Was  crucified,  dead,  and  buried;  He  descended  into 
hell;  The  third  day  He  rose  from  the  dead;  He  ascended  into 
Heaven,  And  sitteth  on  the  right  hand  of  God  the  Father 
Almighty  ;  From  thence  He  shall  come  to  judge  the  quick  and 
the  dead.

THE  ORDER  FOR  DAILY 

EVENING    PRAYER. 


THE  Lord  is  in  His  holy  temple ;  let  all  the  earth  keep  silence 
before  Him.     Hab.  ii.  20. 

From  the  rising  of  the  sun  even  unto  the  going  down  of  the 
same.  My  Name  shall  be  great  among  the  Gentiles  ;  and  in  every 
place  incense  shall  be  offered  unto  My  Name,  and  a  pure  offering : 
for  My  Name  shall  be  great  among  the  Heathen,  saith  the  Lord  of 
Hosts.     Mai.  i.  II. 

Let  the  words  of  my  mouth,  and  the  meditation  of  my  heart,  be 
alway  acceptable  in  Thy  sight,  O  Lord,  my  Strength  and  my 
Redeemer.     Ps.  xix.  14. 

When  the  wicked  man  turneth  away  from  his  wickedness  that 
he  hath  committed,  and  doeth  that  which  is  lawful  and  right,  he 
shall  save  his  soul  alive.     Ezek.  xviii.  27. 

I  acknowledge  my  transgressions  ;  and  my  sin  is  ever  before  me. 
Ps.  li.  3. 

Hide  Thy  face  from  my  sins  :  and  blot  out  all  mine  iniquities. 
Ps.  li.  9. 

The  sacrifices  of  God  are  a  broken  spirit ;  a  broken  and  a  con- 
trite heart,  O  God,  Thou  wilt  not  despise.     Ps,  li.  17. 

Rend  your  heart  and  not  your  garments,  and  turn  unco  the  Lord 
your  God  ;  for  He  is  gracious  and  merciful,  slow  to  anger,  and  of 
great  kindness,  and  repenteth  Him  of  the  evil.     Joel  ii.  13. 

To  the  Lord  our  God  belong  mercies  and  forgivenesses,  though 
we  have  rebelled  against  Him  ;  neither  have  we  obeyed  the  voice  of 
the  Lord  our  God,  to  walk  in  His  laws  which  He  set  before  us. 
Dan.  ix.  9,  10. 


EVENING  PRAYER.  21 

0  Lord,  correct  me,  but  with  judgment ;  not  in  Thine  anger,  lest 
Thou  bring  me  to  nothing.     Jer.  x.  24.     Ps.  vi.  i. 

Repent  ye  5  for  the  kingdom  of  Heaven  is  at  hand.  St.  Alatt. 
iii.  2. 

1  will  arise,  and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto  him  : 
Father,  I  have  sinned  against  Heaven,  and  before  thee,  and  am"  no 
more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son.     St,  Luke  xv.  18,  19. 

Enter  not  into  judgment  with  Thy  servant,  O  Lord  ;  for  in  Thy 
sight  shall  no  man  living  be  justified.     Ps.  cxliii.  2. 

If  we  say  that  we  have  no  sin,  we  deceive  ourselves,  and  the  truth 
is  not  in  us ;  but  if  we  confess  our  sins,  God  is  fait^^ul  and  just  to 
forgive  us  our  sins,  and  to  cleanse  us  from  all  unrighteousness. 
I  John  i.  8,  9. 

DEARLY  beloved  brethren,  the  Scripture  moveth  us,  in  sundry 
places,  to  acknowledge  and  confess  our  manifold  sins  and 
wickedness,  and  that  we  should  not  dissemble  nor  cloak  them 
before  the  face  of  Almighty  God,  our  heavenly  Father,  but  confess 
them  with  an  humble,  lowly,  penitent,  and  obedient  heart ;  to  the 
end  that  we  may  obtain  forgiveness  of  the  same,  by  His  infinite 
goodness  and  mercy.  And  although  we  ought,  at  all  times,  humbly 
to  acknowledge  our  sins  before  God,  yet  ought  we  chiefly  so  to  do 
when  we  assemble  and  meet  together,  to  render  thanks  for  the 
great  benefits  that  we  have  received  at  His  hands,  to  set  forth  His 
most  worthy  praise,  to  hear  His  most  Holy  Word,  and  to  ask  those 
things  which  are  requisite  and  necessar)^  as  well  for  the  body  as 
the  soul.  Wherefore,  I  pray  and  beseech  you,  as  many  as  are  here 
present,  to  accompany  me  with  a  pure  heart  and  humble  voice,  unto 
the  throne  of  the  heavenly  grace,  saying — 

\  A  General  Confession. 

ALMIGHTY  and  most  merciful  Father ;  We  have  erred  and 
strayed  from  Thy  ways  like  lost  sheep.  We  have  followed 
too  much  the  devices  and  desires  of  our  own  hearts.  We  have 
offended  against  Thy  holy  laws.  We  have  left  undone  those 
things  which  we  ought  to  have  done;  And  we  have  done  those 
things  which  we  ought -not  to  have  done:  And  there  is  no  health 
in  us.  But  Thou,  O  Lord,  have  mercy  upon  us  miserable  offenders. 
Spare  thou  those,  O  God,  who  confess  their  faults.     Restore  Thou 

c

those  who  are  penitent ;  According  to  Thy  promises  declared  unto 
manV-ind,  in  Christ  Jesus  our  Lord.  And  grant,  O  most  merciful 
Father,  for  His  sake  ;  That  we  may  hereafter  live  a  godly,  righteous, 
and  sober  life  ;  To  the  glory  of  Thy  Holy  Name.     Amen. 

7  llie  Declaxadon  of  Absolution. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  the  Father  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  Who 
desireth  not  the  death  of  a  sinner,  but  rather  that  he  may 
turn  from  his  wickedness  and  live,  hath  given  power  and  command- 
ment to  His  ministers  to  declare  and  pronounce  to  His  people,  being 
penitent,  the ^^solution  and  Remission  of  their  sins.  He  pardoneth 
and  absolveth  all  those  who  truly  repent,  and  unfeignedly  believe 
His  Holy  Gospel  Wherefore,  let  us  beseech  Him  to  grant  us  true 
repentance,  and  His  Holy  Spirit;  that  those  things  may  please 
Him  which  we  do  at  this  present,  and  that  the  rest  ot  our  life 
hereafter  may  be  pure  and  Holy  ;  so  that  at  the  last  we  may  come 
to  His  eternal  )oy,  through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Am^n. 

TOr  this. 

ALMIGHTY  God,  our  Heavenly  Father,  Who,  of  His  great 
mercy,  hath  promised  forgiveness  of  sins  to  all  those  who, 
with  hearty  repentance  and  true  faith  turn  unto  Him  ;  have  mercy 
upon  you,  pardon  and  deliver  you  from  all  your  sins,  confirm  and 
strengthen  you  in  all  goodness,  and  bring  you  to  everlasting  life, 
through  Jesus  Christ  our  Lord.     Amen. 

OUR  Father,  Who  art  in  Heaven,  Hallowed  be  Thy  Name ;

mf  T^LESSED  is  the  man  that  hath  not  walked  in  the 
JLJ  counsel  of  the  ungodly,  nor  stood  in  the  |  way  of  | 
sinners   :  and  hath  not  sat  in  the  |  seat  |  of  the  |  scornful. 

2.  But  his  delight  is  in  the  |  law  •  of  the  |  Lord  :  and 
in  his  law  will  he  exercise  him  |  self-  |  day  and  | 
night. 

3.  And  he  shall  be  like  a  tree  planted  by  the  |  water  | 
side  :  that  will  bring  forth,  his  |  fruit  in  |  due  |  season. 

4.  His  leaf  also  |  shall  not  |  wither  ;  and  look,  whatso- 
ever he  I  doeth,  |  it  shall  |  prosper, 

p  5.  As  for  the  ungodly,  it  is  not  |  so  with  |  them  :  but 

they  are  like  the  chaff,  which  the  wind  scattereth  away  | 

from  the  |  face  •  of  the  |  earth. 

6.  Therefore  the  ungodly  shall  not  be  able  to  stand  |

gation  I  of  the  |  righteous.

8.  For  He  shall  judge  the  |  world  in  |  righteousness  :

that  liftest  me  up  |  from  the  |  gates  of  |  death.

4.  The  ungodly  is  so  proud,  that  he  careth  |  not  for  |

I  WILL  love  Thee,  O  Lord  my  strength  ;  the

my  Saviour,  my  God  and  my  might,  in  whom  I  will  trust, 
my  buckler,  the  horn  also  of  my  sal  -  |  vation,  |  and  my  |

2.  I  will  call  upon  the  Lord,  which  is  worthy  |  to  be  | 
praised  :  so  shall  I  be  |  safe  |  from  mine  |  enemies. 

3.  The  sorrows  of  death  |  compassed  |  me  :  and  the 
overflowings  of  ungodliness  |  made  |  me  a  -  |  fraid. 

4.  The  pains  of  hell  |  came  a  -  |  bout  me  :  the  snares 
of  I  death  |  over  -  |  took  me. 

5.  In  my  trouble  I  will  call  up  -  |  on  the  |  Lord  :  and

6.  So  shall  He  hear  my  voice  out  of  His  ]  Holy  |

He  cast  forth  |  lightnings,  |  and  des  -  |  troyed  them. 

1 5.  The  springs  of  waters  were  seen,  and  the  foundations 
of  the  round  world  were  discovered  at  Thy  |  chiding,  O  | 
Lord  :  at  the  blasting  of  the  |  breath  of  |  Thydis-  |  pleasure. 

16.  He  shall  send  down  from  on  |  high  to  |  fetch  me  : 
and  shall  take  me  |  out  of  |  many  |  waters. 

17.  He  shall  deliver  me  from  my  strongest  enemy,  and 
from  I  them  which  |  hate  me  :  for  they  |  are  too  |  mighty  | 
for  me. 

18.  They  prevented  me  in  the  day  |  of  my  |  trouble  ; 
but  the  I  Lord  was  |  my  up  -  |  holder.

3.  And  be  Thou  my  strong  rock,  and  |  house  *  of  de-  |

Thou  also  my  guide,  and  lead  me  |  for  Thy  |  Name's  | 
sake. 

5.  Draw  me  out  of  the  net,  that  they  have  laid  | 
privily  |  for  me  :  for  |  Thou  |  art  my  |  strength. 

6.  Into  Thy  hands  I  com  -  |  mend  my  |  spirit  :  for

trouble  :  and  mine  eye  is  consumed  for  very  heaviness ;  yea, 
my  I  soul  I  and  my  |  body.

iquity  :   and  my  |  bones  |  are  con  -  |  sumed. 

13.  I  became  a  reproof  among  all  mine  enemies  but 
especially  a  -  |  mong  my  I  neighbours  :  and  they  of  mine 
acquaintance  were  afraid  of  me ;  and  they  that  did  see  me

Psalm   36. — Dixit  Injustus  28 

Minor, 

MY  heart  showeth  me  the  wickedness  |  of  the  un  -  j 
godly  :  that    there    is    no   fear  of  |  God  be  -  | 
fore  his  |  eyes. 

2.  For  he  flattereth  himself  in  his  [  own  |  sight  :  until 
his  abominable  |  sin  be  j  found  |  out. 

3.  The  w^ords  of  his  mouth  are  unrighteous,  and  | 
full  •  of  de  -  I  ceit  :  he  hath  left  off  to  behave  himself  j 
wisely,  |  and  to  *  do  |  good. 

4.  He  imagineth  mischief  upon  his  bed,  and  hath  set 
himself  in  |  no  good  |  way  :  neither  doth  he  abhor  | 
any  thing  |  that  is  |  evil.  i^Major.) 

5.  Thy  mercy  O  Lord,  reacheth  |  un  -  to  the  | 
heavens  :  and  Thy  |  faithfulness  |  un  —  to  the  |  clouds. 

6.  Thy  righteousness  standeth  like  the  |  strong  | 
mountains  :  Thy  judgments  are  |  like  the  |  great  |  deep. 

7.  Thou   Lord,  shalt  save   both    man  and   beast ;   how 
excellent  is  Thy  mercy  |  O  |  God  :  and  the  children   of 
men  shall  put  their   trust  under  the  j  shadow  |  of  Thy  | 
wings. 

8  They  shall  be  satisfied  with  the  plentcousness  | 
of  Thy  I  house  :  and  Thou  shalt  give  them  drink  of  Thy 
pleasures    I  as  out  |  of  the  |  river.

41.  And  the  Lord  shall  stand  by  them,  and  |  save  |

PUT     me     not    to    rebuke,    O     Lord,  |   in    Thine   | 
anger  :   neither  chasten  me  |  in  Thy  [  heavy  dis  -  | 
pleasure. 

2.  For  Thine  arrows  stick  |  fast  in  |  me  :  and  Thy  I 
hand  |  presseth  me  |  sore. 

3.  There  is  no  health  in  my  flesh,  because  of  | 
Thy  dis  -  |  pleasure  :  neither  is  there  any  rest  in  my 
bones,  by  |  reason  |  of  my  |  sin. 

4.  For  my  wickednesses  are  gone  |  over  my  |  head  ; 
and  are  like  a  sore  burden,  too  |  heavy  for  |  me  to  |  bear. 

5.  My  wounds  stink,  and  j  are  cor  -  j  rupt  :  through  |

6.  I  am  brought  into  so  great  trouble  |  and  |  misery  : 
that  I  go  I  mourning  j  all  the  *  day  |  long. 

7.  For  my  loins  are  filled  with,  a  |  sore  dis  -  |  ease  . 
and  there  is  no  |  whole  part  |  in  my  |  body. 

8.  I  am  feeble,  and  |  sore  |  smitten  :  I  have  roared  for 
the  very  dis  -  I  quietness  |  of  my  |  heart. 

9.  Lord,  Thou  knowest  |  all  *  my  de  -  |  sire  :  and  my

12.  They  also  that  sought  after  my  life  |  laid  snares  | 
for  me  ;  and  they  that  went  about  to  do  me  evil  talked  of 
wickedness,  and  imagined  de  -  |  ceit  |  all  the  •  day  |  long. 

13.  As  for  me,  I  was  like  a  deaf  man,  and  |  heard  | 
not  :  and  as  one  that  is  dumb,  who  |  doth  not  |  open  his  |

in  whose  I  mouth  are  |  no  re  -  |  proofs.

Thou  shalt  answer  for  me,  |  O  |  Lord  my  |  God. 

16.  I  have  required  that  they,  even  mine  enemies, 
should  not  triumph  |  over  |  me  :  for  when  my  foot  slipped, 
they  rejoiced  |  great -5- ly  a  -  |  gainst  |  me. 

17.  And  I,  truly,  am  |  set  •  in  the  |  plague  :  and  my

18.  For  I  will  con  -  ]  fess  my  |  wickedness  :  and  be  | 
sorry  |  for  my  |  sin. 

19.  But  mine  enemies  live,  |  and  are  |  mighty  :  and 
they  that  hate  me  wrongfully  |  are  |  many  in  |  number. 

20.  They  also,  that  reward  evil  for  good  |  are  a  -  | 
gainst   me  :  because  I  follow  the  I  thing  that  I  good  |  is. 

21.  Forsake  me  not,  O  |  Lord  my  |  God  :  be  not  ] 
thou  I  far  from  |  me.

2.  I  will  keep  my  mouth  as  it  were  |  with  a  | 
bridle  :  while  the  un  -  |  godly  is  |  in  my  |  sight. 

3.  I  held  my  tongue,  and  |  spake  |  nothing  :  I  kept 
silence,  yea  even  from  good  words  ;  but  it  was  |  pain 
and  I  grief  to  |  me. 

4.  My  heart  was  hot  within  me,  and  while  I  was 
thus  musing  the  |  fire  |  kindled  :  and  at  the  last  I  | 
spake  I  with  my  |  tongue ; 

5.  Lord,  let  me  know  my  end,  and  the  number  | 
of  my  I  days  :  that  I  may  be  certified  how  |  long  I  | 
have  to  |  live. 

6.  Behold,  Thou  hast  made  my  days  as  it  were  a  | 
span  I  long  :  and  mine  age  is  even  as  nothing  in  respect 
of  Thee ;  and  verily  every  man  living  is  |  alto  -  |

and  cannot  |  tell  |  who  shall  |  gather  them.

for  I  it  was  I  Thy  |  doing. 

11.  Take  Thy  plague  a  -  |  way  from  |  me  :  I  am 
even  consumed  by  the  means  |  of  Thy  |  heavy  | 
hand. 

12.  When  Thou  with  rebukes  dost  chasten  man  for 
sin,  Thou    makest    his   beauty   to    consume  away,  like    as

13.  Hear  my  prayer  O  Lord,  and  with  Thine  ears 
con  -  I  sider  my  |  calhng  :  hold  not  Thy  |  peace  |

sojourner,  as  |  all  my  |  fathers  |  were.

I     WAITED    patiently    |    for    the    |    Lord  :   and    He

3.  And  He  hath  put  a  new  song  |  in  my  |  mouth  : 
even  a  thanksgiving  ]  unto  |  our  |  God. 

4.  Many  shall  |  see  it,  and  |  fear  :  and  shall  put 
their  |  trust  |  in  the  |  Lord.

Lord  :  and  turned  not  unto  the  proud,  and  to  such  as  | 
go  a   -  I  bout  with  |  lies. 

6.  O  Lord  my  God,  great  are  the  wondrous  works 
which  Thou  hast  done,  like  as  be  also  Thy  thoughts 
which  I  are  to  |  us-ward  :  and  yet  there  is  no  man  that  |

al  —  way  pre  -  |  serve  |  me. 

15.  For    innumerable    troubles    are     come    about     me 
my  sins   have    taken  such    hold    upon   me  that   I   am  not

than    the    hairs    of    my    head,    and    my     |    heart    hath

4.  I  will  incline  mine  ear  |  to  the  |  parable  :  and  show 
my  dark  |  speech  up  -  |  on  the  |  harp. 

5.  Wherefore  should  I  fear  in  the  |  days  of  |  wicked- 
ness :  and  when  the  wickedness  of  my  heels  compasseth  |

6.  There  be  some  that  put  their  trust  [  in  their  [  goods  :

7.  But  no  man  may  de  -  |  liver  his  |  brother  :  nor

from  one  generation  to  another  ;  and  call  the  lands  1 
after  their  |  own  |  names. 

12.  Nevertheless,  man  will  not  a  -  |  bide  in  |  honour  : 
seeing  he  may  be  compared  unto  the  beasts  that  perish  | 
this  •  is  the  |  way  of  |  them.

15.  But  God  hath  delivered  my  soul  from  the  | 
place  of  I  hell  :  for  |  He  |  shall  re  -  |  ceive  me.

17.  For  he  shall  carry  nothing  away  with  him  ] 
when  he  |  dieth  :  neither  shall  h.is  |  pomp  |  follow  |  him. 

18.  For  while  he  lived,  he  counted  himself  an  |  happy  j 
man  :  and  so  long  as  thou  doest  well  unto  thyself,  j

2.  Take  heed  unto  me,  and  |  hear  |  me  :  how  I 
mourn  in  my  I  prayer,  |  and  am  |  vexed. 

3.  The  enemy  crieth  so,  and  the  ungodly  cometh  | 
on  so  I  fast  :  for  they  are  minded  to  do  me  some  mischief ; 
so  maliciously  |  are  they  |  set  a  -  |  gainst  me. 

4.  My  heart  is  disquiet  -  |  ed  with  -  |  in  me  :  and 
the  fear  of  |  death  is  |  fallen  up  -  |  on  me. 

5.  Fearfulness  and  trembling  are  |  come  up  -  |  on  me  : 
and  an  horrible  dread  hath  |  over  -  |  whelmed  |  me. 

6.  And  I  said,  O  that  I  had  wings  |  like  a  |  dove  : 
for  then  would  I  flee  a  -  |  way,  and  |  be  at  |  rest. 

7.  Lo,  then  would  I  get  me  a  -  |  way  far  |  off:  and  re  - 1

13.  Neither  was  it  mine  adversary,  that  did  magnify

would  have  |  hid  my  -  |  self  from  |  him.

Psalm  56. — Miserere  mei,  Deus.  ^^ 

Minor, 

E  merciful  unto  me,  O  God,  for  man  goeth  about  | 
to  de  -  I  vour  me  :  he  is  daily  |  fight  -  ing  and  | 
troubling  |  me. 

2.  Mine  enemies  are  daily  in  hand  to  |  swallow  me  [  up  : 
for  they  be  many  that  fight  against  me,  |  O  Thou  |  most  [ 
Highest. 
mf         3.  Nevertheless,  though  I  am  |  some  —  time  a  -  |  fraid  : 
yet  put  I  I  my  I  trust  in  |  Thee. 

4.  I    will   praise    God,    be  -  |  cause    of  •  His  |  word  : 
I   have   put   my  trust  in  God,  and  will  not  fear  what  | 
flesh  can  |  do  un  -  |  to  me. 
p  5.  They     daily   mis  -  |  take    my    |    words    :    all    that 

they  imagine  |  is  to  |  do  me  |  evil. 

6.  They  hold  all  together,  and  |  keep  them  -  selves  | 
close  :  and  mark  my  steps,  when  they  |  lay  wait  | 
for  my  |  soul. 

7.  Shall  they  escape  |  for  their  |  wickedness  :  Thou 
O  God,  in  Thy  dis  -  |  pleasure  shalt  |  cast  them  j 
down. 

8.   Thou  tellest  my  wanderings ;    put  my  tears  |  into 

Thy  I  bottle  :    are    not    these  things  [  noted  ]  in  Thy  | 

book  ? 
cres,       9.  Whensoever    I    call    upon    Thee,    then    shall    mine 

enemies  be  |  put  to  |  flight  :  this  I  know;  for  |  God   is  | 

on  my  |  side,      f  Major.  J

12.  Unto  Thee,  O  God,  will  I  |  pay  my  |  vows  :  imto  | 
Thee  will  |  I  give  |  thanks. 

13.  For  Thou  hast  delivered  my  soul  from  death,

2.  I  will  call  unto  the  |  most  high  |  God  :  even  unto 
the  God  that  shall  perform  the  cause  |  which  I  |  have  in  | 
hand. 

3.  He  shall  I  send  from  |  heaven  :  and  save  me  frorr 
the  reproof  of  Mm  |  that  would  |  eat  me  |  up. 

4.  God    shall    send  forth  His  |  mer  -  cy  and  |  truth 
my  I  soul  is  a  -  I  mong  |  lions. 

5.  And  I  lie  even  among  the  children  of  men,  that  are  [ 
set  on  I  fire  :  whose  teeth  are  spears  and  arrows,  and  their  | 
tongue  a  |  sharp  |  sword.     {Major,) 

6.  Set  up  Thyself,  O  God,  a  -  |  bove  the  (  heavens  : 
and  Thy  glory  a  -  |  bove  |  all  the  |  earth. 

7.  They  have  laid  a  net  for  my  feet,  and  pressed  | 
down  my  |  soul  :  they  have  digged  a  pit  before  me,  and 
are  fallen  into  the  |  midst  of  |  it  them  -  |  selves.

2.  Yea,    ye    imagine    mischief  in    your    heart    up  -  | 
on  the  I  earth  :  and  your  |  hands  |  deal  with  |  wickedness. 

3.  The  ungodly  are  fro  ward,  even  from  their  | 
mother's  |  womb  :  as  soon  as  they  are  born,  they  go  a  -  | 
stray,  and  |  speak  |  lies. 

4.  They  are  as  venomous  as  the  poison  [  of  a  |  serpent  ; 
even  like  the  deaf  adder  that  |  stoppeth  |  her  |  ears  ; 

5.  Which  refuseth  to  hear  the  j  voice  *  of  the  |  charmer  : 
charm  |  —  he  |  never  so  |  wisely. 

6.  Break  their  teeth  O  God,  in  their  mouths  ;  smite 
the  jaw-bones  of  the  |  lions,  O  ]  Lord  :  let  them  fall 
away  like  water  that  runneth  apace  ;  and  when  they  shoot

7.  Let  them  consume  away  like  a  snail,  and  be  like 
the  untimely  |  fruit  •  of  a  |  woman  :  and  |  let  them  'not  [ 
see  the  |  sun. 

8.  Or  ever  your  pots  be  made  |  hot  with  |  thorns  : 
so  let  indignation  vex  him,  even  as  a  |  thing  |  that  is  |  raw. 

9.  The  righteous  shall  rejoice  when  he  |  seeth  the  |

of  the  un  -  |  godly.      (Major.)

4.  They  that  hate  me  without  a  cause  are  more  than 
the  hairs  |  of  my  |  head  :  they  that  are  mine  enemies, 
and  would  de  -  |  stroy  me  |  guiltless,  are  |  mighty.

5.  They  come  in  no  misfortune  Hke  |  other  |  folk  : 
neither  are  they  |  plagued  like  |  other  |  men.

7.  Their  eyes  I  swell  with  |  fatness  :  and  they  do  |

p  17.  Namely,    how  Thou  dost  set  them    in  |  slippery  | 

places  :   and  castest  them    down,  |  and   de  -  |  stroyest    | 

them. 

18.  Oh  how  suddenly  do  |  they  con  -  |  sume  :  perish, 
and  I  come  —  to  a  |  fearful  |  end. 

1 9.  Yea,  even  like  as  a  dream  when  |  one  a  -  |  waketh  : 
so  shalt  Thou  make  their  image  to  |  vanish  |  out  -  of  the  |

2.  In  the  time  of  my  trouble  I  |  sought  the  |  Lord  : 
my  sore  ran,  and  ceased  not  in  the  night-season  :  my  |

HEAR    my   law,    |    O    my    |    people   :    incline   your

2.  I  will  open  my  month  |  in  a  j  parable  :  I  will

3.  Which  we  have  |  heard  and  |  known  :  and  such  | 
as  our  1  fathei's  have  |  told  us  ; 

4.  That  we  should  not  hide  them  from  the  children  of

the    Lord,    His    mighty    and    wonderful  ]  works    that  |

5.  He  made  a  covenant  with  Jacob,  and  gave  Isra  -  j

heart  aright,  and  whose  spirit  cleaveth  not  |  steadfastly  |

10.  Like  as  the  |  chil  -=-  dren  of  ]  Ephraim  :  who  being 
harnessed,  and  carrying  bows,  turned  themselves  back  | 
in  the  |  day  of  |  battle. 

11.  They  kept  not  the  |  covenant  of  ]  God  :  and 
would  not  I  walk  |  in  His  |  law. 

12.  But  format  what  |  He  had  |  done  :  and  the 
wonderful  works  that  |  He  had  |  showed  |  for  them. 

13.  Marvellous  things  did  He  in  the  sight  of  our  fore- 
fathers, in  the  I  land  of  |  Egypt  ;  even  |  in  the  |  field  of  | 
Zoan. 

1 4.  He  divided  the  sea,  and  let  |  them  go  j  through  : 
He  made  the  waters  to  |  stand  |  on  an  ]  heap. 

15.  In  the  day-time  also  He  led  them  |  with  a  | 
cloud  :  and  all  the  night  through.  |  with  a  |  light  of  |  fire. 

16.  He  clave  the  hard  rocks  |  in  the  |  wilderness  : 
and  gave  them  drink  thereof,  as  it  had  been  |  out  *  of  the  [ 
great  |  depth. 

17.  He  brought  waters  out  of  the  |  stony  |  rock  ; 
so  that  it  gushed  |  out  [  like  the  |  rivers. 

18.  Yet  for  all  this  they  sinned  |  more  a  -  |  gainst  him  : 
and  provoked  the  most  |  Highest  |  in  the  |  wilderness  ? 

1 9.  They  tempted  God  |  in  their  |  hearts  :  and  required  | 
meat  |  for  their  j  lust. 

20.  They  spake  against  God  |  also,  |  saying  :  Shall 
God  prepare  a  [  table  |  in  the  |  wilderness  ? 

21.  He  smote  the  stony  rock  indeed,  that  the  water 
gushed  out,   and  the  streams   ]    flow  -  ed  with  -  |  al  :

but  can  He  give  bread  also,  or  pro  -  |  vide  flesh  |  for  His  | 
people  ? 

22.  When  the  Lord  heard  this,  |  He  was  |  wroth  : 
so  the  fire  was  kindled  in  Jacob,  and  there  came 
up  heavy  dis  -  |  pleasure  a  -  |  gainst  |  Israel ; 

23.  Because  they  believed  j  not  in  |  God  :  and  put 
not  their  |  trust  |  in  His  |  help. 

24.  So  He  commanded  the  |  clouds  a  -  |  bove  :  and  | 
open  -  ed  the  |  doors  of  |  heaven. 

25.  He  rained  down  manna  also  upon  them  |  for  to  | 
eat  :  and  I  gave  them  |  food  from  |  heaven. 

26.  So  man  did  eat  |  angels'  |  food  :  for  He  | 
sent  them  |  meat  e  -  |  nough. 

27.  He  caused  the  east  wind  to  blow  |  under  |  heaven  : 
and  through  His  power  He  brought  |  in  the  |  south-west  | 
wind. 

28.  He  rained  flesh  upon  them  as  [  thick  as  |  dust  : 
and  feathered  fowls  like  |  as  the  |  sand  *  of  the  |  sea. 

29.  He  let  it  fall  a  -  |  mong  their  [  tents  :  even 
round  a  -  |  bout  their  |  habit  -  |  ation. 

30.  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well  filled  ;  for  He  gave 
them  their  I  own  de  -  |  sire  :  they  were  not  disap  -  | 
pointed  |  of  their  |  lust. 

31.  But  while  the  meat  was  yet  in  their  mouths,  the 
heavy  wrath  of  God  came  upon  them,  and  slew  the  | 
wealthiest  |  of  them  :^  yea,  and  smote  down  the  chosen  | 
men  that  |  were  in  |  Israel. 

32.  But  for  all  this  they  |  sinned  yet  |  more  :  and 
believed  |  not  His  |  wondrous  |  works.

33.  Therefore  their  days  did  He  con  -  |  sume  in  | 
vanity  :  and  |  their  |  years  in  [  trouble. 

34.  When  He  slew  them,  |  they  |  sought  him  :  and 
turned    them    early,    and    in   -    |    quired    |    after    |    God. 

[Change.)  26  [in  E  Minor.) 

35.  And  they  remembered  that  God  |  was  their  | 
strength  :  and  that  the  high  God  |  was  |  their  Re  -  | 
deemer. 

36.  Nevertheless,  they  did  but  flatter  Him  |  with  their  \ 
mouth  :  and  dissembled  |  with  Him  |  in  their  |  tongue. 

37.  For  their  heart  was  not  |  whole  with  |  Him  : 
neither  continued  they  |  steadfast  |  in  His  |  covenant. 

38.  But  He  was  so  merciful,  that  He  for  -  |  gave  their  j 
misdeeds  :  and  |  —  de  -  |  stroyed  them  |  not. 

39.  Yea,  many  a  time  turned  He  His  |  wrath  a  -  | 
way  :  and  would  not  suffer  His  whole  dis  -  |  pleasure  | 
to  a  -  I  rise. 

40.  For  He  consideied  that  they  [  were  but  [  flesh  : 
and  that  they  were  even  a  wind  that  passeth  away,  and  | 
cometh  )  not  a  -  |  gain. 

41.  Many  a  time  did  they  provoke  Him  ]  in  the  | 
wilderness  :  and  |  grieved  Him  |  in  the  [  desert. 

42.  They  turned  back,  and  |  tempted  |  God  :  and 
moved  the  |  Holy  j  One  in  |  Israel. 

43.  They  thought  not  |  of  His  |  hand  :  and  of  the 
day  when  He  delivered  them  from  the  |  hand  |  of  the    | 
enemy  ; 

44.  How  he  had  wrought  His  |  miracles  in  j  Egypt  : 
and  His  wonders  |  in  the  |  field  of  |  Zoan. 


DAY    15.  THE   PSALMS.  1 53 

45.  He  turned  their  waters  |  into  |  blood  :  so  that  they  | 
might  not  |  drink  •  of  the  |  rivers. 

46.  He  sent  lice  among  them,  and  de  -  [  vour'd  them  | 
up  :  and  I  frogs  |  to  de  -  [  stroy  them. 

47.  He  gave  their  fruit  |  un  -^  to  the  |  caterpillar  ; 
and  their  [  labour  |  un  -  to  the  |  grasshopper. 

48.  He  destroyed  their  |"  vines  with  |  hailstones  : 
and  their  mulberry  -  |  trees  |  with  the  ]  frost. 

49.  He  smote  their  cattle  |  al  -  so  with  |  hailstones  : 
and  their  flocks  |  with  hot  |  thunder  -  |  bolts. 

50.  He  cast  upon  them  the  furiousness  of  His  wrath, 
anger,  dis  -  |  pleasure,  and  |  trouble  :  and  sent  |  evil  | 
an  —  gels  a  -  |  mong  them. 

51.  He  made  a  way  to  His  indignation,  and  spared  not 
their  |  soul  from  |  death  :  but  gave  their  life  |  over  | 
to  the  I  pestilence  ; 

52.  And  smote  all  the  first  -  [  born  in  |  Egypt  : 
the  most  principal  and  mightiest  |  in  the  |  dwellings  of  [ 
Ham.     (Major,) 

53.  But  as  for  His  own  people.  He  led  them  |  forth 
like  I  sheep  :  and  carried  them  in  the  |  wilderness  |  like  a  | 
Hock. 

54.  He  brought  them  out  safely,  that  they  |  should  not  [ 
fear  :  and  overwhelmed  their  |  enemies  |  with  the  I  sea. 

55.     And  brought  them  within  the  borders  |  of  His    | 
sanctuary  :  even  to  His  mountain  which   He  purchased   | 
with  His  I  right  |  hand. 

56.  He  cast  out  the  heathen  |  al  -  so  be  -  |  fore  them  : 
caused  their  land  to  be  divided  among  them   for  an  heri-

tage,  and  made  the  tribes  of  Israel  to  |  dwell  |  in  their  | 
tents.     (Minor.) 

57.  So  they  tempted,  and  displeased  the  |  most  high  [ 
God  :  and  kept  I  not  His  |  testi  -  |  monies ; 

58.  But  turned  their  backs,  and  fell  away  |  like  their  | 
forefathers  :  starting  aside  |  like  a  |  broken  [  bow. 

59.  For  they  grieved   Him  with  |  their  hill  -  |  altars  : 
and  provoked  Him  to  dis  -  |  pleasure  |  with  their  |  images. 

60.  When   God    heard    this,  |  He   was  |  wroth  :   and 
took  I  sore  dis  -  |  pleasure  at  |  Israel. 

61.  So  that  He  forsook  the  taber  -  |  nacle  in  |  Silo  : 
even  the  tent  that  He  had  |  pitched  a  -  |  mong  |  men. 

62.  He  delivered  their  power  |  into  cap  -  |  tivity  :  and 
their  beauty  |  in  -=-  to  the  |  enemy's  |  hand. 

63.  He  gave  His  people  over  also  |  un  -  to  the  |  sword  : 
and  was  I  wroth  with  |  His  in  -  |  heritance. 

64.  The  fire  consumed  |  their  young  |  men  :  and  their 
maidens  |  were  not  |  given  to  |  marriage.  ' 

65.  Their   priests  were    slain  |  with   the  |  sword  :  and 
there  were  no  widows  to  |  make  |  lamen  -  |  tation. 

66.  So  the  Lord  awaked  as  one  |  out  of  |  sleep  :  and 
like  a  I  giant  re  -  |  freshed  with  |  wine. 

67.  He  smote  His  enemies  in  the  |  hinder  |  parts  :  and 
put  them  I  to  a  per  -  |  petual  |  shame. 

68.  He    refused    the    taber  -  |  nacle   of  |  Joseph  :  and 
cbose  I  not  the  |  tribe  of  |  Ephraim  ; 

69.  But  chose  the  I  tribe  of  |  Judah  :  even  the  hill  of  |

70.  And  there  He  built  His  |  temple  on  |  high  :  and

laid  the  foundation  of  it  like  the  ground,  which  |  He  hath  |

71.  He  chose  David  |  also  His  |  servant  :  and  took 
him  a  -  I  way  |  from  the  |  sheepfolds. 

72.  As  he  was  following  the  ewes  great  with  young

4.  O  Lord  [  God  of  [  hosts  :  how  long  wilt  Thou  be 
angry  I  with  Thy  |  people  that  |  prayeth  ? 

5.  Thou  feedest  them  with  the  |  bread  of  [  tears  :  and 
givest  them  plenteous  -  |  ness  of  |  tears  to  |  drink. 

6.  Thou  hast  made  us  a  very  strife  |  unto  our  |  neigh- 
bours :  and  our  |  enemies  ]  laugh  •  us  to  |  scorn. 

7.  Turn   us   again.   Thou  |  God    of  |  hosts  :  show   the 
light  of  Thy  countenance,  |  and  we  |  shall  be  |  whole. 

8.  Thou   hast  brought  a  vine  |  out  of  |  Egypt  :  Thou 
hast  cast  out  the  |  heathen,  and  |  planted  |  it. 

9.  Thou    madest  |  room    for    |  it  :   and    when   it  had 
taken  ]  root  it  |  filled  the  ]  land. 

10.  The  hills  were  covered  with  the  |  shadow  |  of  it  : 
and  the  boughs  thereof  were  like  the  |  goodly  |  cedar-  |  trees. 

1 1 .  She  stretched  out  her  branches  |  un  -^  to  the  ]  sea  : 
and  her  I  boughs  |  un  -^  to  the  |  river. 

L     12.  Why  hast  Thou  then  broken  |  down  her  |  hedge  : 
that  all  they  that  go  |  by  pluck  |  off  her  |  grapes. 

13.  The  wild  boar  out  of  the  wood  doth  |  root  it  | 
up  :  and  the  wild  beasts  |  of  the  |  field  de  -  |  vour  it. 

1 4.  Turn  Thee  again,  Thou  God  of  hosts,  look  | 
down  from  |  heaven  :  be  -  |  hold,  and  |  visit  this  |  vine  ; 

1 5.  And  the  place  of  the  vineyard  that  Thy  right  | 
hand  hath  |  planted  :  and  the  branch  that  Thou  madest  so  | 
strong  I  for  Thy  -  |  self. 

16.  It  is  burnt  with  fire,  [  and  cut  |  down  :  and  they

strong  for  |  Thine  own  |  self. 
if  18.  And    so    will    not    we  go    |   back  from    |    Thee  : 

O  let  us  Hve,  and  we  shall  |  call  up  -  |  on  Thy  |  Name.

3.  Blow  up  the  trumpet  |  in  the  •  new  |  moon  :  even 
in  the  time  appointed,  and  up  -  |  on  our  |  solemn    |    feastday. 

4.  For  this  was  made  a  |  statute  for  |  Israel  :  and  a  | 
law  •  of  the  |  God  of  |  Jacob. 

5.  This  he  ordained  in  Joseph  |  for  a  |  testimony  : 
when  he  came  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  had  |  heard  a  | 
strange  |  language. 

6.  I  eased  his  shoulder  [  from  the  |  burden  :  and  his 
hands  were  de  -  |  livered  from  |  mak  —  ing  the  |  pots. 

7.  Thou  calledst  upon  me  in  troubles,  and  I  de  -  | 
livered  |  thee  :  and  heard  thee  what  time  as  the  |  storm  | 
fell  up  -  I  on  thee. 

8.  I  [  proved  thee  |  also  :  at  the  |  waters  |  of  [  strife. 

9.  Hear  O  my  people,  and  I  will  assure  |  thee,  O  | 
Israel  :  if  [  thou  wilt  |  hearken  un  -  [  to  me.

10.  There  shall  no  strange  god  |  be  in  |  thee  : 
neither  shalt  thou  worship  |  any  |  other  |  god. 

11.  I  am  the  Lord  thy  God,  who  brought  thee  out 
of  the  I  land  of  |  Egypt  :  open  thy  mouth,  j  wide,  and  \ 
I  shall  I  fill  it. 

12.  But  my  people  would  not  |  hear  my  |  voice  : 
and  Israel  |  would  |  not  o  -  |  bey  me. 

13.  So  I  gave  them  up  unto  their  |  own  hearts'  | 
lusts  :  and  let  them  follow  their  |  own  i  -  |  magi  -  |  nations. 

14.  O  that  my  people  would  have  hearkened  |  unto  j 
me  :  for  if  Israel  had  |  walked  |  in  my  |  ways, 

15.  I  should  soon  have  put  |  down  their  |  enemies  : 
and  turned  my  |  hand  a  -  |  gainst  their  |  adversaries. 

16.  The  haters  of  the  Lord  should  have  been  |  found  | 
liars  :  but  their  time  ]  should  •  have  en  -  |  dured  for  | 
ever. 

17.  He  should  have  fed  them  also  with  the  | 
finest  wheat  -  ]  flour  :  and  with  honey  out  of  the  stony 
rock  should  I  I  have  |  satis  -  ]  fied  thee.

3.  Thou  turnest  man  |  to  de  -  |  struction  :  again  Thou

6.  In  the  morning  it  is  green,  and  |  groweth  |  up  :  but 
in  the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  |  dried  |  up,  and  |  wither'd.

and  our  secret  sins  |  in  the  |  light  of  •  Thy  |  countenance. 

9.  For  when  Thou  art  angry  all  our  |  days  are  |

unto  the  I  children  |  of  |  Israel. 

8.  The  Lord  is  full  of  com  -  |  passion  and  |  mercy  : 
long-suffering,  |  and  of  |  great  |  goodness. 

9.  He  will  not  I  al  -  way  be  |  chiding  :  neither  keepeth  | 
He  His  I  anger  for  |  ever. 

10.  He  hath  not  dealt  with  us  |  after  our  |  sins  : 
nor  rewarded  us  ac  -  |  cording  |  to  our  |  wickednesses. 

11.  For  look  how  high  the  heaven  is  in  comparison  | 
of  the  I  earth  :  so  great  is  His  mercy  also  to  -  |  ward  | 
them  that  |  fear  Him. 

12.  Look  how  wide  also  the  east  is  |  from  the  |  west  : 
so  far  hath  He  |  set  our  |  sins  |  from  us. 

13.  Yea,  like  as  a  father  pitieth  his  |  own  |  children  : 
even  so  is  the  Lord  merciful  |  unto  |  them  that  |  fear  Him. 

1 4.  For  He  knoweth  whereof  |  we  are  [  made  : 
He  remembereth  |  that  we  |  are  but  |  dust. 

15.  The  days  of  man  are  |  but  as  |  grass  :  for  he 
flourisheth  as  a  |  flower  |  of  the  |  field. 

16.  For  as  soon  as  the  wind  goeth  over  it  |  it  is  | 
gone  :  and  the  place  there  -  |  of  shall  |  know  it  no  |  more. 

f  17.  But   the  merciful  goodness  of  the  Lord  endureth 

for  ever  and  ever  upon  |  them  that  |  fear  him  :  and  His 
righteousness  up  -  |  on  |  children's  |  children. 

18.  Even  upon  such  as  |  keep  His  |  covenant  :  and 
think  upon  His  com  -  [  mand  -  |  ments  to  |  do  them.

7.  He  is  the  I  Lord  our  |  God  :  His  judgments  [ 
are  in  |  all  the  |  world. 

8.  He  hath  been  alway  mindful  of  His  |  covenant  and  |

9.  Even  the  covenant  that  He  |  made  with  |  Abraham  : 
and  the  oath  that  He  |  sware  |  unto  ]  Isaac  ; 

10.  And  appointed  the  same  unto  Jacob  |  for  a  ]  law  : 
and  to  Israel  for  an  |  ever  -  |  lasting  |  testament ; 

11.  Saying,  Unto  thee  will  I  give  the  |  land  of  |  Ca- 
naan :  the  1  lot  of  I  your  in  - 1  heritance ; 

12.  When  there  were  yet  but  a  |  few  of  |  them  :  and 
they  I  strangers  |  in  the  |  land  ; 

13.  What  time  as  they  went  from  one  nation  |  to  ac  -  | 
other  ;  from  one  kingdom  |  to  an  -  |  other  |  people  ; 

1 4.  He  suffered  no  man  to  \  do  them  |  wrong  :  but 
reproved  even  |  kings  |  for  their  |  sakes ; 

1 5.  Touch  not  I  mine  A  -  |  nointed  ;  and  |  do  my  | 
prophets  no  |  harm. 

16.  Moreover,  He  called  for  a  dearth  up  -  |  on  the  | 
land  :  and  destroyed  ]  all  the  •  pro  -  |  vision  of  | 
bread. 

17.  But  He  had  sent  a  |  man  be  -  ]  fore  them  :  even 
Joseph,  who  was  |  sold  to  |  be  a  |  bond-servant; 

1 8.  Whose  feet  they  hurt  |  in  the  [  stocks  :  the  iron  | 
entered  |  into  his  |  soul; 

1 9.  Until  the  time  came  that  his  |  cause  was  |  known  : 
the  word  I  of  tlie  I  L^rd  |  tried  him. 

20.  The  king  sent,  and  de  -  |  livered  ]  him  : 
the  prince  of  the  |  people  |  let  him  •  go  [  free. 


194  THE  PSALMS.  DAY  21. 

21.  He  made  him  lord  also  |  of  his  [  house  :  and  | 
ruler  of  |  all  his  |  substance  ; 

22.  That  He  might  inform  his  princes  I  after  his  | 
will  :  and  |  teach  his  j  senators  |  wisdom. 

23.  Israel  also  came  |  into  |  Egypt  :  and  Jacob  was 
a  stranger  [  in  the  |  land  of  |  Ham. 

24.  And  He  increased  His  |  people  ex  -  |  ceedingly  : 
and  made  them  |  stronger  |  than  their  |  enemies. 

25.  Whose  heart  turned  so  that  they  |  hated  His  | 
people  :  and  dealt  un  -  |  truly  |  with  His  |  servants. 

26.  Then  sent  He  |  Moses  His  |  servant  :  and  | 
Aaron  whom  j  He  had  |  chosen. 

27.  And  these  showed  His  |  tok  -^  ens  a  -  |  mong  them  : 
and  wonders  |  in  the  |  land  of  |  Ham. 

28.  He  sent  darkness  |  and  it  •  was  |  dark  :  and  they 
were  not  o  -  |  bedient  |  unto  His  |  word. 

29.  He  turned  their  waters  [  into  |  blood  :  and  [ 
slew  I  —  their  [  fish. 

30.  Their  land  |  brought  forth  |  frogs  :  yea  even  | 
in  their  |  kings'  |  chambers, 

3 1 .  He  spake  the  word,  and  there  came  all  |  manner  of  | 
flies  :  and  |  lice  in  |  all  their  [  quarters. 

32.  He  gave  them  hail  -  |  stones  for  |  rain  :  and  | 
flames  of  |  fire  •  in  their  |  land. 

33.  He  smote  their  vines  |  also  and  |  fig-trees  :  and 
destroyed  the  trees  |  that  were  |  in  their  (  coasts. 

34.  He  spake  the  word,  and  the  grasshoppers  came, 
and  caterpillars  in  -  |  numer  -  [  able  :  and  did  eat  up  all  the 
grass  in  their  land,  and  devoured  the  jfiuit|  of  their  |  ground. 


DAY  21.  THE  PSALMS.  1 95 

35.  He   smote  all   the   first-born   |   in  their   |   land  : 
even  the  |  chief  of  [  all  their  |  strength. 

36.  He  brought  them  forth  also  with  |  silver  and  |  gold: 
there  was  not  one  feeble  |  per  ^  son  a  -  |  mong  their  |  tribes. 

37.  Egypt  was  glad  at  |  their  de  -  |  parting  :  for  they  | 
were  a  -  |  fraid  of  |  them. 

38.  He   spread   out    a  cloud  to   |  be   a   |   covering  : 
and  fire  to  give  |  light  •  in  the  |  night  |  season. 

39.  At  their  desire  |  He  brought   |    quails  :  and  He 
filled  them  1  with  the  |  bread  of  |  heaven. 

40.  He  opened  the   rock  of  stone,   and  the  waters  | 
flowed  ]  out  :  so  that  rivers  |  ran  •  in  the  |  dry  |  places. 

41.  For  why?    He  remembered  His  |  holy  |  promise  : 
and  I  Abra  -  I  ham  His  |  servant. 

42.  And    He    brought    forth    His    |    people   with   | 
joy  :  and  His  |  cho  -  |  sen  with  |  gladness. 

43.  And   gave  them   the   lands   ]   of  the   |   heathen  : 
and  they  took  the  labours  of  the  |  people  |  in  pos  -  |  session. 

44.  That  they  might  |  keep  His  |  statutes  :  and  ob  -  |

4.  Remember  me  O  Lord,  according  to  the  favour  that 
Thou  bearest  |  unto  Thy  |  people  :  O  visit  |  me  with  | 
Thy  sal  -  I  vation  ;

and  rejoice  in  the  gladness  of  Thy  people,  and  give  | 
thanks  with  |  Thine  in  -  |  heritance. 

6.  We  have  sinned  |  with  our  |  fathers  :  we  have  done  a  -| 
miss,  I  and  dealt  |  wickedly. 

7.  Our  fathers  regarded  not  Thy  wonders  in  Egypt, 
neither  kept  they  Thy  great  goodness  [  in  re  -  |  membrance  : 
but  were  disobedient  at  the  sea,  ]  even  |  at  the  •  Red  (  sea. 

8.  Nevertheless,  He  helped  them  |  for  His  |  Name's 
sake  :  that  He  might  make  His  |  power  |  to  be  |  known. 

9.  He  rebuked  the  Red  sea  also,  and  it  was  |  dried  | 
up  :  so  He  led  them  through  the  |  deep,  as  |  through  a  | 
wilderness. 

10.  And  He  saved  them  from  the  |  adversaries'  | 
hand  :  and  delivered  them  from  the  |  hand  |  of  the  |  enemy. 

1 1 .  As  for  those  that  troubled  them,  the  waters  | 
over  -  I  whelmed  them  :  there  |  was  not  |  one  of  •  them  | 
left. 

12.  Then  believed  ]  they  His  [  words  :  and  sang  | 
praise  |  unto  |  Him. 

13.  But  within  a  while  they  for  -  |  gat  His  |  works  : 
and  would  I  not  a  -  |  bide  His  |  counsel. 

1 4.  But  lust  came  upon  them  |  in  the  |  wilderness  : 
and  they  tempted  |  God  |  in  the  |  desert. 

15.  And  He  gave  them  |  their  de  -  |  sire  :  and  S'e-iit

1 6.  They  angered  Moses  also  [  in  the  |  tents  :  and 
Aaron  the  [  saint  [  of  the  [  Lord. 

1 7.  So  the  earth  opened,  and  |  swallowed  up  [  Dathan  ; 
and  covered  the  congre  -  ]  gation  |  of  A  -  |  biram. 

18.  And  the  fire  was  kindled  |  in  their  |  company  : 
the  flame  |  burnt  |  up  the  •  un  -  ]  godly. 

1 9.  They  made  a  I  calf  in  |  Horeb :  and  worship-  ]  ped 
the  I  molten  [  image. 

20.  Thus  they  I  turned  their  [  glory  :  into  the 
similitude  of  a  [  calf  that  [  eateth  ]  hay. 

21.  And  they  forgat  |  God  their  ]  Saviour  :  Who 
had  done  so  |  great  [  things  in  |  Egypt. 

22.  Wondrous  WOrks  in  the  |  land  of  ]  Ham  : 
and  fearful  [  things  •  by  the  \  Red  |  sea. 

23.  So  He  said,  He  would  have  destroyed  them,  had 
not  Moses  His  chosen  stood  before  Him  |  in  the  | 
gap  :  to  turn  away  his  wrathful  indignation  |  lest  He  | 
should  de  -  ]  stroy  them. 

24.  Yea,  they  thought  scorn  of  that  |  pleasant  J  land  : 
and  gave  no  |  credence  [  unto  His  [  word  ; 

25.  But  murmured  |  in  their  |  tents  :  and  hearkened 
not  unto  the  |  voice  |  of  the  |  Lord. 

26.  Then  lift  he  up  His  |  hand  a  -  ]  gainst  them  : 
to  over  -  I  throw  them  ]  in  the  ]  wilderness  ; 

27.  To  cast  out  their  seed  a  -  |  mong  the  [  nations  ; 
and  to  I  scatter  them  |  in  the  |  lands. 

28.  They  joined  themselves  unto  |  Baal  -  |  peor  : 
and  ate  the  ]  offerings  |  of  the  |  dead. 

29.  Thus   they  provoked    Him    to  anger  with  their  I

30.  Then  stood  up  |  Phinees  and  |  prayed  :  and  | 
so  the  I  plague  |  ceased. 

31.  And  that  was  counted  unto  |  him  for  |  righteous- 
ness :  among  all  posterities  |  for  |  ever  -  |  more. 

32.  They  angered  Him  also  at  the  |  waters  of  |  strife  : 
so  that  he  punished  |  Moses  |  for  their  |  sakes  ; 

33.  Because  they  pro  -  |  voked  his  |  spirit  :  so  that  he 
spake  unad  -  |  visedly  |  with  his  |  lips. 

34.  Neither  destroyed  |  they  the  |  heathen  :  as  the  ] 
Lord  com  -  |  manded  |  them  ;

2.  Thou  art  about  my  path,  and  a  -  |  bout  my  |

4.  Thou  hast  fashioned  me  beMnd  |  and  be  -  |  fore  :

me  :  then  shall  my  |  night  be  |  turn  -  ed  to  ]  day. 

1 1 .  Yea,  the  darkness  is  no  darkness  with  Thee,  but  the 
night  is  as  clear  |  as  the  |  day  :  the  darkness  and  light  to  | 
Thee  are  |  both  a  -  ]  like. 

12.  For  my  I  reins  are  |  Thine  :  Thou  hast  covered

that  my  soul  |  knoweth  |  right  |  well.

16.  Which  day  by  |  day  were  |  fashioned  :  when  as 
yet  I  there  was  |  none  of  |  them.

O  how  great  |  is  the  I  sum  of  |  them  ! 

18.  If  I  tell  them,  they  are  more  in  number  |  than  the  |

He  showed  His  ways    |   unto    j   Moses  :   His  works

The  Lord  is  full  of  com  -  j  passion  and  [  mercy  : 
long-suffering    j  and  of  ]  great  [  goodness. 

He  will  not  I  al  -^  way  be  [  chiding  ;  neither  keepeth  j

He  hath  not  dealt  with  US  [  after  our  |  sins  ;  nor 
rewarded  us  ac  -  |  cording  |  to  our  |  wickednesses. 

For  look  how  high  the  heaven  is  in  comparison  | 
of  the  I  earth  :  so  great  is  His  mercy  also  to  -  |  ward  | 
them  that  |  fear  Him. 

Look  how  wide  also  the  east  is  |  from  the  |  west  : 
so  far  hath  He  [  set  our  |  sins  |  from  us. 

Yea,  like  as  a  father  pitieth  His  |  own  [  children  : 
even  so  is  the  Lord  merciful  |  unto  |  them  that  \  fear  Him. 

For  He  knoweth  whereof  |  we  are  |  made  :  He  remem-

The  days  of  man  are  ]  but  as  |  grass  :  for  he  flourisheth 
as  a  1  flower  |  of  the  [  field. 

For  as  soon  as  the  wind  goeth  over  it,  |  it  is  |  gone  : 
and  the  place  there  -  |  of  shall  |  know  it  no  |  more.

OLORD,  Thou  hast  searched  me  |  out,  and  |

Thou  art  about  my  path,  and  a  -  [  bout  my  |  bed  :  and  | 
spiest  out  I  all  my  |  ways. 

For  lo,  there  is  not  a  word  |  in  my  |  tongue  :  but  Thou 
O  Lord,  I  knowest  it  |  alto  -  [  gether. 

Thou  hast  fashioned  me  behind  |  and  be  -  j  fore  :  and  |

Such  knowledge  is  too  wonderful  and  |  excellent  |

Whither  shall  I  go  then  |  from  Thy  |  Spirit  :  or  whither 
shall  I  1  go  then  |  from  Thy  J  presence  ? 

If  I  climb  up  into  heaven,  |  Thou  art  |  there  :  if  I  go

Yea,  the  darkness  is  no  darkness  with  Thee,  but  the 
night  is  as  clear  [  as  the  |  day  :  the  darkness  and  light  to  | 
Thee  are  |  both  a  -  |  like. 

For  my  I  reins  are  |  Thine  :  Thou  hast  covered  me  |

Thine  eyes  did  see  my  substance,  yet  ]  being  im  -  |

How  dear  are  Thy  counsels  unto  |  me,  O  |  God  :  O

If  I  tell  them,  they  are  more  in  number  |  than  the  |

Try  me,  O  God,  and  seek  the  ground  |  of  my  |  heart  :

They  gave  me  |  gall  to  |  eat  :  and  when  I  was  thirsty,

300  BURIAL  PSALM. 

f  Glory  be  to  the  Father,  \  and  •  to  the  |  Son  :   and  | 

to  the  I  Holy  |  Ghost ; 

As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  j  ever  |  shall  be  : 
^vorld  without  end.  |  A  -  |  —  |  men. 

Burial  P0alm. 

^  T  ORD,  let  me  know  my  end,  and  the  number  |  of  my  | 
1 — /  days  :  that  I  may  be  certified  how  [  long  I  | 
have  to  |  live. 

Behold,  Thou  hast  made  my  days  as  it  were  a  |  span  | 
long  :  and  mine  age  is  even  as  nothing  in  respect  of  Thee  ; 
and  verily  every  man  living  is  j  alto  -  |  gether  |  vanity. 

For  man  walketh  in  a  vain  shadow,  and  disquieteth  him  -  | 
self  in  I  vain  :  he  heapeth  up  riches,  and   cannot  [  tell  | 
who  shall  I  gather  them. 
mf         And  now  Lord,  |  what  is  •  my   |   hope  :   truly  my  | 

hope  is  I  even  in  |  Thee. 
p  Deliver  me  from  all  |  mine  of  -  [  fences  :  and  make  me 

not  a  re  -  I  buke  un  -  |  to  the  |  foolish. 

When  Thou  with  rebukes  dost  chasten  man  for  sin, 
Thou  makest  his  beauty  to  consume  away,  like  as  it  were 
a  moth.  I  fret  —  ting  a  |  garment  :  every  man  |  therefore  | 
is  but  I  vanity. 

Hear  my  prayer  O  Lord ;  and  with  Thine  ears  con  -  | 
sider  my  |  calling  :  hold  not  Thy  |  peace  |  at  my  |  tears. 

For  I  am  a  stranger  ]  with  |  Thee  :  and  a  sojourner  , 
as  I  all  my  [  fathers  |  were. 

O  spare  me  a  little,  that  I  may  re  -  ]  cover  my  I 
strength  :  before  I  go  hence,  |  and  be  [  no  more  j  seen. 


BURIAL  PSALM.  30I 

Lord,  Thou  hast  |  been  our  [  refuge  :  from  one  gene  -  | 
ration  |  to  an  -  |  other. 

Before  the  mountains  were  brought  forth,  or  ever  the 
earth  and  the  |  world  were  [  made  :  Thou  art  God  from 
everlasting,  and  |  world  with  -  |  out  |  end. 

Thou  turnest  man  [  to  des  -  ]  truction  :  again  Thou 
sayest.  Come  a  -  |  gain,  ye  |  chil  -  dren  of  |  men. 

For  a  thousand  years  in  Thy  sight  are  [  but  as  | 
yesterday  :  seeing  that  is  past  |  as  a  |  watch  •  in  the  j  night. 

As  soon  as  Thou  scatterest  them,  they  are  even  |  as  a  | 
sleep  :  and  fade  away  ]  suddenly  |  like  the  |  grass. 

In  the  morning  it  is  green,  and  |  groweth  |  up  :  but  in 
the  evening  it  is  cut  down,  |  dried  |  up,  and  |  withered. 

Foi  we  consume  away  in  |  Thy  dis  -  |  pleasure  :  and 
are  afraid  at  Thy  ]  wrathful  |  indig  -  [  nation. 

Thou  hast  set  our  mis  -  |  deeds  be  -  |  fore  Thee  :  and 
our  secret  sins  in  the  |  light  |  of  Thy  |  countenance. 

For  when  Thou  art  angry,  all  our  |  days  are  |  gone  :  we 
bring  our  years  to  an  end,  as  it  ]  were  a  |  tale  that  •  is  |  told. 

The  days  of  our  age  are  threescore  years  and  ten  ;  and 
though  men  be  so  strong  that  they  come  to  |  fourscore  | 
years  :  yet  is  their  strength  then  but  labour  and  sorrow  ; 
so  soon  passeth  it  a  -  |  way,  and  |  we  are  |  gone. 

So  teach  us  to  |  number  our  |  days  :  that  we  may  apply 
our  I  hearts  ]  unto  |  wisdom. 

Glory  be  to  the  Father,  |  and  •  to  the  |  Son  :  and  j 
to  the  I  Holy  |  Ghost ; 

As  it  was  in  the  beginning,  is  now,  and  [  ever  |  shall  be  : 
world  without  end.  |  A  -  |  —  |  men.
